“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens exemplifies a timeless classic. The novella was published in 1843 and has captured readers' hearts for generations. The story is so entangled with the winter holidays that it has inspired numerous adaptations on all types of media and has become an integral part of the Western literary canon.

Set in Victorian London, the story revolves around the life of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. This man is so heartless and consumed by his greed that he does not comprehend the amount of suffering various people surrounding him endure. On one fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is met by the ghost of his late business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of his ultimate fate and the arrival of three ghosts: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

One of the things that makes A Christmas Carol a timeless classic is its multilayered thematic background. The novella is a story of redemption, compassion, and the true spirit of the winter celebration. The book’s central theme revolves around the idea that it is never too late to reform, rekindle old relationships, and allow the sheer warmth of giving to enter one’s life.

Another captivating part of the novella is the word-image of Victorian London. The city, with its grimy streets and impoverished neighbourhoods, is presented vividly through the eyes of the novel’s protagonists. Scrooge’s interactions with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the Fezziwig family stress the importance of human connection and love for others regardless of societal discrepancy.

However, the most essential thing in A Christmas Carol is the genuine, multi-faceted, and memorable characters. With his famous catchphrase, “Bah, humbug!” Scrooge has surpassed the barrier between the book’s pages and has become an idiom for many English speakers. Nevertheless, it is not only the comic character that contributes to the novella’s attraction. He is a bonus fide protagonist who changes from the unfeeling older man into the giver. His transformation is the biblical process, symbolised by Marley and the three ghosts that appear to Scrooge. Past takes him down the memory path; Present presents the wonders of Christmas and the importance of family and friends, while Yet to Come is a dark mirror of the future if Scrooge continues his selfish way.

The book is also language-rich and story-rich. Charles Dickens’ elegant prose and brilliant storytelling completely incorporate the reader into the narration's spirit.

A Christmas Carol is still a gem that spins and always hits home. It epitomizes the real meaning of Christmas, encapsulates the need for one another during the celebration, and most profoundly speaks of an individual's capability to reach new extremes of generosity.

Trafalgar Tavern. A couple of days ago I went Ceroc dancing at the Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich. An amazing tavern with impressive rooms upstairs to dance in. Also a great location, right on the riverfont and by the Old Naval College that used to be Greenwich Hospital. It was built in 1837 when Queen Victoria came to the throne, and it was frequented by Charles Dickens, who used the location of the wedding feast in 'Our Mutual Friends'. Right at the heart of maritime Greenwich, it must have hosted and witnessed lots of interesting events. And there was a drinking establishment here well before 1837 with fisherman and seafarers frequenting the river front Inn that was called the Old George Inn. I have walked past the bust of Nelson outside a number of times and had a drink in the downstairs bar. But it was the first time I've explored the whole Tavern that is expansive with rooms on a grand scale. Big rooms, chandeliers, busts of Nelson, other people of the Georgian and Victorian era, and countless paintings of Nelson and maritime Greenwich. Even in the gents loo, one of the best I've been in (last piccie!). And what a venue to dance in. Was thinking it would be the ideal location for a masked ball! #trafalgartavern #Greenwich #historicgreenwich #ceroc #ceroclondon #cerocgreenwich #Nelson #victorianlondon (at Trafalgar Tavern) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAwcw3DCvx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
